The spirit OF earth, with glad. r-storing hands,
Did RUN moves, IN glimmering chasm gropes,
And MOSES mantle and the bright flower opes,
But Death the Plowman anders in all lands,
And TO the last Of earth his furrow stands
The grave is never hidden: fearful hopes
Follow the dead upon the fading slopes.
And there wild memories meet upon the sands
When willows fling their banners to the plain,
When rImor of winds and sound OF sudden
showers
Disturb the dream of winter-aIl in vain
The grasses hurry to the graves, the flowers
Toss their wild torches on their windy towers;
Yet are the bleak graves lonely in the rain.

As to business, Omaha Is doing well. In
1886 she stood fourteenth among the cities OF
the United States IN her clearing house re-

TO S39, 10000. Her lumber trade was twice
as large As that Of Kansas City, and it was
almost equal to that of Minneapolis. which is

The Missouri river Is very uncertain
quantity, and the story that hear here
about an island lying above Omaha being
laid out in city lots reminds me Of
one which lay in the river just opposite Kan
sas City. This island WAS a quarter of a
mile long, and the city authorities had
founded pest house upon it, anil all patients
having contagious diseases were taken to it,
and not few died there and were buried
A few weeks ago, during a freshet the citi-

and found it not The freshet had carried
both pest house and island away, and the

that Omaha now leads i'll manufacturing,

which Omaha has is immense, and that is in
her smelling works. She has the biggest
establishment of this kind in the United

makes the biggest product Of blue vitriol in
the United States, If not in the world. 1t is
from her that the Western Union Telegraph
